Ah great stuff Eddie some lovely views/footage you got on this start section of the walk. Never done any bits of the WHW but i know in places it's a lot harder to do than it looks. But with the great company you have with you anything is possible 👍 Will catch up on this on the next few days or so mate. Thanks for posting, peter :)

Wow! Scotland is such an amazing landscape. I hope to see it someday. Great video and channel. Greetings from across the pond. New follower here. Crow✌️

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Thanks, I subbed back and will watch, ATB.

[@1o1s1s1i1e]

Fantastic Eddie! Outstanding views and you are hiking in good company. Your fitness looks darn good as well! Take care, Ossie

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Thanks Ossie yes it was quite comfortable really, the thing is to go slow uphill (your own slow pace) and steady on the flat. ATB.

[@ProphecyPrepper]

You’ve got some good editing ideas Eddie. Good watching. Some new places in this video that I can’t remember seeing myself

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Thanks Mark good to see your happy mate take care.

Oh my, this brings back many happy memories. I worked 7 seasons at Rowardennan hostel when Davie and Wilma ran it. Still to this day one of the best jobs I ever had. I moved to Canada and am now in Austria living but often think of Rowardennan. The number of times we had the rescue seaking land where you are camping and one year I even landed a Piper super cub on floats in front of the hostel! For anyone staying there who wants a swim. The water for some reason is much warmer on the beach to the right of of the jetty! Near the rocky outcrop that separates it from the next beach which featured on an old episode of Rab C Nesbitt when he and Jamesy walked the WHW! Happy walking, I hope you have tons of Avon Skin So Soft, it’s midgey season!

Cheers Derek as they say in STAR TREK to go where no man has videoed before.

[@WyeExplorer]

You're a right old character Eddie. KZbin would not be the same without you or the usual mob. I enjoyed that end to end. I look forward to part 2. Mark

[@ScotsWildcamper]

[@snowymatrix]

Nice one Eddie I've been looking forward to watching this👍🍺🍺

[@gerardtaylor7813]

Brilliant Eddie you got great footage of the first couple of days, I didn't film as much, and it's great seeing it again you tend to forget a lot of it because there is so much to take in, I'm really glad you filmed more, can't wait to see part two, speak soon matey atvb Ged and Shan 👍😁

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Watch out old Jakey's about lol. Yes i prefer filming alot and hopefully shoot something decent , wind noise an issue on the devils staircase day might look into that wireless mic set you have. Regards to family.

[@johnwillie69]

[@Alan-iu2el]

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Thanks Alan , yes i remember.

[@ootnboots]

Good stuff Eddie , i still plan to do this sometime . i'll look forward to to the next section ..cheers Stevie

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Yes I would recommend it, I would say 6 days would be ideal. I've done our Angle Tarn camp going to upload it after part 2 of WHW. Upload every Monday is the plan.

[@andrewcook1159]

class as usual eddie put colin russels gadget camping to shame ha ha

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Cheers Andrew lol.

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

The scenery is amazing, Rob Roy country that, Craig Rostan was owned by him and Inversnaid was his little settlement back in his day, he's not the bad man outlaw Scottish folk law would have people believe, he was Scotlands Robin Hood, reading a book called Rob Roy MacGregor, His life and times by WH Murray, a very interesting read.

[@ScotsWildcamper]

If laws are unjust are you an outlaw if you break them, hard to know fact from fiction but I think if people are remembered for centuries then they defo made a great impact. Glad I did the WHW maybe the Southern Upland Way next which is a different beast.

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

@@ScotsWildcamper Totally agree with that statement Eddie and no I think unjust " law's " should be broken and not adhered too and " ignored ". Sounds like another picturesque walk, enjoy.

[@snowymatrix]

Really nice lochside campsite there at the end of the video not seen that before

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Yes that's the unofficial campsite the official pitches are terrible TBH. The receptionist said since it was Sunday none of the managers are there and we could camp at the lochside.

[@markoutinthewild9481]

Nice one Eddie! how you keeping these days? still getting out a lot? atb Mark

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Had a family bereavement and need to look after someone full time. I still be getting oot occasionally. ATB

[@georgekennedy2051]

I just think you need to warn tourist's of the danger of ticks I notice you are all wearing shorts. I caught one on me baw bag, a few weeks ago and I wis fishing no hiking

[@ScotsWildcamper]

I was in trousers all hike, yes I mention ticks later on.
